To all people planning to go to the Manchester kick-off tomorrow, the weather forecast predicts 6’’-to 18’’ of snow in the morning. This will make traveling up to Manchester very difficult.
If you are there, you may be all right, but the highways are probably going to be bad.
:ahh: I want that snow!!! We got some in Michigan, but nothing like that…
the snow isn’t supposed to start to tonight around 8pm so I would think that most teams would be up there before 8pm and who cares if you get stuck in a room full of FIRST junkies with big boxes of robot parts…
The snow has been falling since 11:00am today Never believe the weather man.
Once again snow for the kick off.
I meant the heavy stuff, but how was anyone to know that, but me.
It started here around 10am too, but I’m underground till 7pm (or when I go topside) when I go home from work.
Bring on the snow! I like to have a challenge for the new 4 wheel drive truck.
Would you mind sending some of that snow here? We Minnesotans are melting with 0" (yes, zero) of snow. If we don’t get some soon, I may go insane. 
Driving in 4wd + Getting stuck in 4wd = being stuck in 4wd

hehe, very true, I just found out the hard way!
We have about 5" already here at the New York state border in northeastern Pennsylvania, and all of the weather people say it is only going to intensify, and it has been snowing since about 8 PM last night.
I will be happy as long as the power stays on, and the NASA truck makes it to Manchester to broadcast.

Sorry but I just can’t help asking what kind of truck is it that you drive? My 4x4 is a 99 Ranger.
They probably wont send a truck really maybe a van lol…
All they have to do is setup the carmeras and av equipment. They run a cable from there switcher to the fiberline and then there connected direct to NASA TV. Assuming the Verizon Center has a fiber drop (which I would assume)

My memories of our almost 5 years in Plymouth, MN (in economic exile from Michigan) generally include really cold winters with virtually no snow to play in. 
Seriously, everyone take care and drive safely this weekend, an accident would not be a good way to start the season…
us up here in canada have had snow since 9:00pm last night. we have over a foot of snow on the ground now and we still have clear roads and are out and about. no worries up here.
No snow in Minnesota.
No snow in Michigan.
No snow in Wisconsin.
What’s going on?!

The polar ice caps are melting. The magnetic field of the Earth is switching. The world is ending.
Have a nice day. 
(It’s raining here.)

I would also like to know too. I have a Cherokee Laredo w/ all the opts. (part time 4 hi, Lo, Full Time 4, 2 wheel drive) and i haven’t gotten stuck in any snow/mud/anything. And my truck is light as a feather! (It’s a uni-body!)
I meant if you get stuck when driving in 4 wheel drive you most likely wont get unstuck.
I haven’t gotten stuck either…

No snow in Michigan.
We got about 4 inches last night. Other parts of MI… I think that was about the average for the metro-Detroit area.
I heard that the city of Detroit and southern suburbs got a little more, but up here in Rochester, 4 sounds about right.

Yeah it was coming down pretty good last night when I got out of robotics. good luck to everyone traveling in snow tomorrow.
